Come on Daddy!

Chapter 515 We Should Learn to Treasure

Marley's body was transferred to Mount Pearl First Funeral Home in City J. The mourning hall was also arranged quickly.

The layout of the hall was mainly white roses, which was elegant and warm. In the center of the hall was a huge picture of Marley wearing a cream suit.

In the photo, Marley was stately and handsome. His warm smile had the power to heal people.

Marley always kept a low profile. So, Bright did not want to be high-profile, and did not invite anyone.

But from tomorrow, they would open it for two days, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m, for relatives and friends to come to mourn. There would be a small farewell service for the family on the third day, and then they would cremate him and bury him.

Francis almost fainted on the spot when he received the news of Marley's death. Fortunately, Hallie and Stefan were with him and comforted him.

However, Bright, who handled Marley's death, was as calm as he was when he handled Rose's grandfather's death.

The only thing Rose could do was stay with him until Marley was buried in the family cemetery on the third day.

The family cemetery was located in a place with fantastic geomantic omen. Fronting river and with a hill at the back, it was like a fairyland on earth.

It was raining on the day of Marley's burial, as if God was also sad for the loss of such an excellent man as Marley.

Bright stood in front of Marley's grave with a big black umbrella. Rose stood behind him and stayed with him silently.

There were white flowers in front of the black tombstone. Each flower was more beautiful after being washed by the rain.

It was only when it rained harder that Bright turned and took Rose's hand, "Let's go."

They walked out of the cemetery and met Serena at the gate. She was standing in the rain and dressed in black, holding a bouquet of white roses in her arms.

The rain had drenched her and the flowers.

Rose rushed forward and opened the umbrella in her hand to keep the raindrops off Serena, "Serena, you'll catch a cold."

"They won't let me in to see Marley," Serena's eyes were red and she cried in pain.

"I'll tell the security guard here that you can go in anytime you want to see Marley." Bright gave Serena his promise.

"Thanks, Bright," Serena smiled through tears, "I'll go see him then. I have a lot to say to him."

Rose pulled the hurried Serena and shoved the umbrella into her hand, "Take it and take care of yourself."

Serena took the umbrella, smiled gratefully and then left.

Bright put the umbrella over Rose's head and took her shoulders. Rose sighed, "Fate always fools people. If only Marley and Serena could be together."

"There is no if in this world... So, we must learn to treasure." Bright turned around with her, "Let's go."

Bright and Rose went to the apartment where Marley lived before he died to pack his things.

Francis intended to take all of Marley's things back to the Lee family's villa and put them in his room.

Looking at the things that belonged to Marley, Bright felt like Marley had never left them.

"Bright, who do you think is the woman holding the baby in this picture?" Rose found a photo in the drawer of Marley's bedroom. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Bright took the photo and looked at it. The yellow photo showed a woman sitting on an antique chair. She was wearing a dark green cheongsam with ink and lotus pattern. Her young face was beautiful. She was gently smiling and had an outstanding temperament.

She held the little baby sitting on her lap with both hands, and the baby was smiling brightly.

"This baby is Marley. This woman looks so familiar..." Bright could not remember for a moment.

He turned the photo over and saw the word "Mom" written on the back, which was Marley's handwriting.

"This woman is our mother?" Bright felt there was too much information. This was the first time he had seen a picture about his mother.

"I feel she looks like someone." Rose recalled carefully, but was always unable to remember it when it mattered, "But now there's a photo. If you want to know who she is, you can look it up."

"She's gone anyway. So, there's no need." Bright put the photo in the storage box, "I'm not interested in her either."

Bright didn't remember anything about his mother. His affection for her was not as deep as Marley, who he grew up with.

They packed up all things and went back to the Lee family.

Francis was devastated by Marley's death. So, he was depressed for a few days and always lay on bed to rest.

When Bright went to see Francis, he ran into Hallie, who had fed Francis the soup.

Hallie was carrying a tray and met Bright. She was a little embarrassed, "Don't worry. I will leave the Lee family. But I can't leave at ease until your father is better."

Bright said nothing and went into Francis' room.

"Bright, I am old and Marley is gone. You are the only backbone of our family." Francis pulled Bright, "If anything happens to me, please take care of Hallie, Stefan and Zoe. You and Rose should have a few more kids. Doris is too lonely."

"Dad, don't say that. The doctor said you should get some rest." Bright knew that Marley's death was a heavy blow to his father, "Marley also hopes you to be okay. For his sake, please get well."

Bright talked a lot more with Francis and told him to take it easy and get well, and that he would handle everything.

When Bright came out and saw Rose and Hallie talking in the living room, he walked to them and Hallie stood up.

"Hallie, please take good care of my father. Thank you." Bright's tone was slightly hard.

"That is what I should do." Hallie faintly smiled, "You and Rose just work and don't worry. I will do it."

"Marley is gone. You and my dad have been married for so many years... I don't want to pursue the past." Bright did not want to stir things up. Besides, even if Hallie left, it could not change anything, "I

will leave my dad and this home to you. This is your home, too."

Bright could see that Hallie was devoted to Francis, not just a vain person who wanted the Lee family's wealth.

He didn't want Francis to know the truth about what had happened. If Francis knew that he might have been an accomplice in "hurting" his eldest son, how upset he would be? He would not be able to bear it.

It would be better to let this matter be buried forever and not mentioned by anyone.

Francis was now suffering from a blow and in poor health. He could no longer withstand more blows. Maybe this was the best choice, which could make the family complete and better.

Hallie stared at Bright in a daze. Suddenly, her nose twitched and she smiled with relief, "I will not let you down."

Rose was also happy to see that the family was happy and the unpleasantness had dissipated.

Everything seemed to be going in the right direction.

When it was the first seven days after Marley's death, Bright and Rose went to see Marley, but accidentally met the woman.
